Migration Tool
The Kerberos Server’s database migration tool, kdb_migrate, enables you to migrate your
Kerberos database from Kerberos database V 1.0 to the new version, Kerberos database
V 2.0.
NOTE The Kerberos database formats of version 1.0 and version 2.0 are not
compatible with each other.
The kdb_migrate tool migrates each entry in the version 1.0 dumpfile into the version 2.0
dumpfile.
Refer to the Installing, Configuring and Administering the Kerberos Server V 2.0,
(T1417-90003) guide for more details.
Propagation
Each Secondary Server must have the latest copy of the principal database, at all times, to
authenticate users on the network. Secondary servers obtain the copy of the principal
database from the Primary Security Server using the database propagation service.
In this version of the Kerberos Server, V 2.0, the database propagation service once
configured will automatically propagate the incremental changes from the primary server to
its associated secondary servers, at predefined intervals, which is configurable. Relationships
in the propagation hierarchy are defined in the kpropd.ini text file.
Refer to man kpropd.ini(4), for more details on this configuration file.
Propagation Tools
The Table 1-1 lists and briefly describes the propagation configuration tools.
